Lance’s 1000 km shirt
Since I posted this photo on my Facebook page yesterday, I have had such wonderful reaction that I thought it worth publishing in my blog. Please feel free to re-blog and share it in any other way you see fit through your own social media channels. I am very proud of my achievement. So proud, that I had my Andover parkrun shirt customised for the occasion.
My running friends agree that, in many ways, the 200 parkrun milestone is greater than those for which we are awarded t-shirts (50, 100, 250, 500). It represents ONE THOUSAND KILOMETRES in the park!
Andover New Year parkrun was my 200th. That is 1000 km in the park!
I celebrated by running my 201st parkrun with many of my Andover friends at Salisbury.
My next target is to run my 250th on my birthday on 16th December 2017.
Write to Inspire 
I confess I love the idea of parkrun but sadly where I live the only one I could get to takes place on a Saturday morning while I am at work, at the minute it would still be more of a park waddle than a run but I hope by the time I can quit the day job and earn a living from writing I will be in better shape to take advantage of my free time.

You’ll get there. When you do, remember it is not a race against anyone but yourself. You start of slowly and gradually improve on your own results. I have seen some amazing outcomes.
In the meantime, I saw that you looked at “When Pleasure Blooms”. I hope that you’ll read it and give me feedback. It is only five short stories so you can pick it up and read one during a coffee break. I’ve had some great reviews (look on amazon) some quite pleasingly explicit. I’ve written a couple of novels too: “Eleven Miles” and “Knitting Can Walk!” The reason that i tell you this is because it is also my dream to give up the day job and write for a living. Take a look at the reviews and the “About” pages on my blog, and let me know what you think.
